Coveted Crib: Barnyard Beauty

Architecture firm S. Russell Groves gave this picturesque historic barn on an expansive estate in rural Connecticut a top to bottom renovation, including extensive cabinetry and state-of-the-art audio-visual systems. The original, naturally distressed, wood beams and wide-plank flooring, which were restored and then offset with custom and vintage furniture, patina finishes and heavily textured fabrics, are the home's most wonderful treasure. The building's unique high-ceilinged structure creates an unreplicable feeling of openness, and the property's lush greenery and rolling hills make for a pristine, pastoral setting.
